“Aubrey was available on short notice and did a great job taking care of our cat. She was attentive to his habits and notified us when something deviated from normal so that we could take action to put things back on track. I hope Aubrey will be available to care for our cat again!”
About: I visit my friends' dogs for cuddles and play. (I can't have my own fur babies due to family members' allergies.) I work in Peoria schools so am used to being firm and caring with humans. I'm also very active and enjoy walking in all (okay, most) weather. As my own kids get older and I add a side gig, pet care is a natural fit! I work school hours so am often available early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available some holidays. I usually know my schedule weeks or months ahead, making it easy for you to plan for your vacation! I ask pet owners for pet-specific tips when I first meet the pet, or even earlier. I want to know where their pets go when they are stressed, what they are allowed to do and climb on, and of course their feeding and exercise schedules. I don't currently care for pets in my home due to family members' allergies.
About: With experience from a pet store where I learned about nutrition, training service dogs, and handling a variety of animals at the zoo, I offer well-rounded pet care. As a dedicated pet parent to four dogs, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and provide personalized, knowledgeable care. As a masters student, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. I balance my studies with caring for my own pets by ensuring their needs are met before I do anything I have to do When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I follow their routines, offer plenty of attention, and ensure they feel safe and loved while maintaining a clean, stress-free environment tailored to their needs.
About: I'm the kind of person that can get the jobs done, even the dirtier ones! I have experience with handling feeder insects as well without any problems! I currently have a wide open schedule, and as such I am available for you and your companions at any and all times when it comes to scheduling! I will follow your set instructions to a tee, and I will always handle safety measures myself in ways that keep stress and harm for any and all animals minimal to none. I will triple check each and every safety concern (fragile items, doors locked, etc.) as part of my routine.
About: I have been in love with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with 2 cats and 1 dog in my household as well as chickens, a bearded dragon, a turtle, fish, guinea pig, and a rabbit! Currently I have no animals but I still have the same amount of love for them! I have taken care of my friends and families animals and I’m always happy to meet some new animal friends!! 😍 I am currently a musician part time which means my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to visit your animals whenever is best for their schedule! I will happily send you picture and video updates for your animals! I love to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending some extra time for some snuggle sessions while I’m there :) I am a musician which means work comes and goes and I make my own schedule so I am extremely flexible and happy to visit whenever! We always had an "electric" fence for our dog which would gently vibrate her collar if she got out of the boundary. She was well trained and very attentive. Our cats were indoor cats and we made sure they knew they shouldn't try and get outside or on counters. The chickens and rabbit were fenced in outside in a giant chicken coop and since I was handling animals at a young age I am very familiar with how to gently care for them.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the age of 11 and up. I have about 10 years of experience pet sitting, walking and training, with all different sizes of dogs, cats and even some horses! I volunteered at taps for about a year and a half. I’ve always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember, I treat every animal as if they were my own baby’s! I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your baby’s the only times I’m not available is past 6pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I am very clean and respectful in other peoples homes most the people I’ve pet sat or dog walked for say they wouldn’t have even noticed I was there if there wasn’t things in the trash

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Peoria
Grace is kind, calm, reliable, and communicative. She took the time to play with our cat during every visit, took care of the litter boxes and feedings, and handled some other household things while we were away for the week. Cinnamon quickly came out of her shell and administered many a biscuit and cuddle :D

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
